Irina18 [472]3 years ago
7 0

Answer:

The diameter of mirror 5\times10^{-6}\ m

Explanation:

Given that,

Wavelength = 2 μm

Resolution = 0.1

We need to calculate the diameter of mirror

Using formula of resolution

resolution=0.25\times\dfrac{wavelength}{diameter}

diameter =0.25\times\dfrac{wavelength}{resolution}

Put the value into the formula

diameter=0.25\times\dfrac{2\times10^{-6}}{0.1}

diameter = 0.000005\ m

diameter = 5\times10^{-6}\ m

Hence, The diameter of mirror 5\times10^{-6}\ m

Two objects were lifted by a machine. One object had a mass of 5000 kg, and was lifted at a speed of 2 m/sec. The other had a ma
Leokris [45]
Equation for ke = 1/2mv^2
1) ke = 1/2 x 5000 x (2x2)
= 10,000J
2) ke = 1/2 x 4000 x (3x3)
= 18,000J
So Object 2 has more Kinetic Energy

A 0.300 kg ball, moving with a speed of 2.5 m/s, has a head-on collision with at 0.600 kg ball initially at rest. Assuming a per
FrozenT [24]

Answer:

1.25 m/s

Explanation:

Given,

Mass of first ball=0.3 kg

Its speed before collision=2.5 m/s

Its speed after collision=2 m/s

Mass of second ball=0.6 kg

Momentum of 1st ball=mass of the ball*velocity

=0.3kg*2.5m/s

=0.75 kg m/s

Momentum of 2nd ball=mass of the ball*velocity

=0.6 kg*velocity of 2nd ball

Since the first ball undergoes head on collision with the second ball,

momentum of first ball=momentum of second ball

0.75 kg m/s=0.6 kg*velocity of 2nd ball

Velocity of 2nd ball=0.75 kg m/s ÷ 0.6 kg

=1.25 m/s

How does a compound differ from a mixture?
Mashcka [7]
A compound is the substances that are formed by combining two are more chemical elements. A mixture is a substance created from two or more matter that can be separate with the help of physical methods. ... Mainly pure water is part of the compound. Mixtures fall under impure water.

Hope this helps!

Have a great day!
